This Is The Best Collagen Supplement for Anti-Aging! | NOT SPONSORED | Part 2

[@bat757]

From my work in a pharmacy (and preparation of a lot of antibiotic syrup) I can give a tip. Mix the powder with an eighth of the amount of liquid in the container. Even a tablespoon or 2 will do. After the powder is well absorbed and is no longer visible - only then add the rest of the liquid. It works, always.

Age 76 with knee pain and degeneration for 20+ of that. Started Orgain collagen from Costco 3 weeks ago. After a couple weeks I bent my knees to the sidewalk and when l got back up I noticed my knees were not screaming at me like they had any other time in the past 20 yrs. I think it was because of the collagen.

I have been putting a scoop of Trader Joe’s chocolate Keto Collagen in my morning coffee every day for at least 8 months. I have absolutely no doubt it is working on my skin and joints. My daughter hadn’t visited in a while, and after I’d been drinking this for 6 months or so, she visited and marveled at my lack of wrinkles. And once again, after decades, we were confused as sisters when we went out together. I’m 69. She’s 43. TJ’s collagen is grass fed bovine and MCT oil derived. It is sweetened with stevia leaf.

I took the skin boost for three months after I watched this video, I can't say I saw any difference in my skin or hair, but it relieved the tendon/joint pain (back &knees) that I had been suffering for months before (though not resolved). However, I had to stop using them as soon as my GYN told me my uterine fibroids have grown again faster than expected. Funny I know, I took them for skin and they helped with a second problem and worsened a third one 😅

[@delaneyondreams]

Are there any peer-reviewed papers (research) showing that collagen is associated with fibroid growth?

[@azamlaleh]

@@delaneyondreamsactually, I was curious myself, so I looked into literature. I found a few papers suggesting collagen's effect on fibroids/uterine polyps in animals (mostly dogs). I also found one of two preclinical papers (lab studies, not in population) suggesting a possible causal relationship between high collagen concentration and (human) fibroid growth. I assume that collagen supplements are still new to the pharma world it'll take a few years for researchers to come up with a sufficient number of women who use them and who have a propensity (e.g., genes) to develop fibroids!

So happy to see a positive review for Sparkle! I have the Sparkle collagen- both the Skin Boost and the one for tendons and joints. I haven't had it for long so can't comment on any changes.

I bought pure marine collagen from Japan. I only use it when I'm not drinking soup/broth. Collagen supplement can be pretty expensive. As I'm Asian, drinking hot soup is part of my staple food. I usually use bones, bone marrows, chicken feet, kelp boil over long hours on low to make broth. When cooled in fridge you can see a thick gelatine mixture. Sometimes I will use dried anchovies with kelp soup. I love soup because it can be so nutritious, and delicious. I add onions, veg into the broth too and it makes a great dish over dinner too.

Take Gelatine powders instead because it is way less expensive and as good. I mix 3 teaspoon (approx 12g) to ginger and a slash of apple cider vinegar in a tea. The other ingredients should enzymatically hydrolyse the gelatine (partially hydrolysed collagen) more for easier absorption/bioavailability.

Which one exactly?

[@MISSIONCAT11]

Thank you Doctor for that valuable info. I will definitely check out your tips. I had a split thumbnail which was about 1/8 "" from the side of the nail. The narrow side of the nail detached and began to stick up. I had to tape it back down for about 2 years, however it never re-attached. Then I visited a bone-broth and gelatin video. A model who commented under this video said she was using copper peptides to keep up her skin's appearance. Then she switched to cow gelatin, and decided that cow gelatin was close or just as good as copper peptide. This set me off and I decided to try gelatin myself. I began sprinkling unflavored gelatin on my food before cooking. The gelatin melts and disappears, and is tasteless. After about 4 months, I noticed to my joy that the split and detached portion of the thumb nail was beginning to lie down and re-attach to the bed. That was a year ago, and now the thumb nail is normal. I found that I could add gelatin to my drinking water by heating the water first and then adding a small amount of gelatin, i.e "protein water". The gelatin remains dissolved during the day so long as the water is not cooled. If it is cooled, then pieces of gelatin appear however that doesn't bother me. I love gelatin now. Thank you again for your work and information on this channel and things to try.

[@Doxxsch]

Regarding the marine sources, wild caught fish do not have a lower heavy metal content compared to farmed. What actually matters here is the species of fish. Carnivorous fish higher up the food chain tend to have a higher heavy metal content. Herbivorous fish have a lower heavy metal content. If you look at the feed used in farmed species (for example, salmon), a large amount of the feed ingredients used now come from plants (such as soy and wheat) and thus reduce the amount of heavy metals consumed/present in the fish.

Love your videos. One thing though, you do realize that ALL beef raised in this country is grass fed. All of it, since all cow-calf operations are pastured. The calves are on pasture until they are weaned at about 6-7 months old. Then they are sent to feed lots to be finished on grain. So seeing grass fed on the label means nothing. What makes a difference is whether or not the cattle are GRASS FINISHED.

Just started on the Sparkle Wellness powder. Using the trick of dissolving the scoop full in just a little water in the glass, then adding the rest of the water. Works great, no clumps at all. Just stir with a spoon..no need to use a frother. Can’t wait to see if I get results!

I am curious of what you think about capsule form. I've been taking a capsule form for about five years, for joint joint health but notice how much healthier my hair and nails are. Am I getting any benefits for my joints or just for my hair, skin and nails. Also, what does type III, IV mean?

[@christinescott5002]

My question also. Have not tried these but would prefer a capsule.

[@marissac713]

The capsules just have a much smaller amount of milligrams vs a full scoop or two. Some studies show that 10-40 milligrams are needed for joint benefits. So at least ten mg daily is good, that's the amount I take.

[@pebkit6763]

You could probably put the powder into your own capsules. Just fill up capsules that are a scoops worth.

[@SavvyMama]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO! Thak you SO much for all this. I work for a company that makes Collagen. Bovine & also a Blend. For skin the best collagen is Marine or Fish as it is the smallest molecularly (Bovine is larger) Must be taken with vitamin C for optimum synthetization. Verisol is the best. The best like you say is if you can get it from your diet that is just so hard to do. Also, anyone using a powder peptide should ask their Dr first even though it isn't a whole protein it may still not be for everyone.

[@bhampatty1]

I notice you did not discuss the Types of collagen. The brand I am using now, ForestLeaf, has Types I, II, and III. Could you address that in your future Q&A?

[@yellowrose13]

Verisol collagen is type I and III only.

[@daynad8104]

The one I use is hydrolyzed, and has all types, too. I used Vital Proteins at first, until I started researching hydrolyzed had better absorption, so I switched.

[@bhampatty1]

@@yellowrose13 True, but I would love for her to discuss the various types.

[@MommaOsoIrish]

And I had seen another dermatologist recommend types I, II, III, IV AND X

Thank you so much - I trust your recommendation. Your advice and your video is clear, quick, easy to understand and professional. I love it. I've put in my order just on your presentation. Excellent! Thank you and I look forward to more.

[@snkisser309]

Hi! Great video! I never thought to use a milk frother to help blend the powder so thanks for that tip! I like to freeze my drinks, making them into a slushie like consistency; does freezing a collagen powder mixed drink negatively effect the efficacy of it?

[@chillymilly7005]

I had to throw collagen powder out, the foam made me gag, I could not stomach it. I just make chicken and pork broth that gets nice a jiggly from pure source collagen. The bonus is that it's free from saved bones.

[@deeford8318]

Thanks for this informative video. As others have mentioned, would love to know how to use collagen to support additional needs, e.g., for cartilage/joint support and bone loss (Fortibone) as someone who is 50 + with Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis. Wondering if it would make sense to alternate types daily or would they be taken on the same day/different times. Realizing , of course, that you are dermatologist and focused on skin health 😊!

I was eagerly awaiting this video, finally it's here! I'll definitely give these a try, I've been interested in trying collagen supplements ever since your original video. What do you think about collagen capsules? Is it equivalent to powder?

Thank you for such an informative video! As a healthcare professional, I appreciate learning more about the science behind products. This seems odd but have you heard of people experiencing acne (facial and/or on body) when taking collagen peptides daily? I have enjoyed taking but I was noticing increased breakouts or bumps on my back, chest and arms. Maybe coincidence or other dietary changes, but when I took a break for a couple of weeks, I didn’t see more develop and my skin was looking clearer. I was using the vital proteins in the blue tub. I’m now very interested in switching to one with Verisol though!

[@2ndLife2025]

I too experience A LOT of acne when I try taking different collagen supplements. I’m 46 and have noticed this when taking collagen supplements for the last 5 years. I’ve been trying “the best” supplements out there (including Dave Asprey’s bulletproof collagen supplements), and brands from Germany and Switzerland, and always get bad cystic acne after taking the collagen (esp the bovine derived sources). Don’t know why. Very frustrating.

[@CreamIceMs]

Wondering if the supplement contains whey? Sometimes whey and other dairy products can cause cystic acne. For example it happens to people who go to the gym and drink protein powders, end up with bacne and don't realize it's the whey in the protein powder. If it's the case, maybe switch to one that doesn't have whey and see if it works?

[@kedabro1957]

About 7 comments above yours is one by Kim Young saying Vital Protein got sued for having heavy metals in it. Also people are claiming Nestle bought them and removed the Hyaluronic Acid.

[@agoogleuser7055]

Thanks much for this! I have been trying to understand for awhile whether or not to take collagen and if so which, and this answers both, saving me and no doubt others LOTS of time and money!

[@crystalwrightlive]

My tip for dissolving the collagen is boiling hot water in the bottom of a cup or in a shot glass and then put in the collagen and it dissolves immediately.

[@lttlod1]

This is amazing! Questions for part 3: What have you noticed about your skin and joints since taking the collagen supplements you are recommending? Also, what capsules do you recommend if I don't want the powdered version? Thanks Dr. Locke!!!! This is the best dermatology channel out there!

[@anitamiko9975]

Agreed on the question about what changes you’ve noticed and agree on the compliment!

I am also interested in the capsules. What about the Sparkle Capsules?

[@daynad8104]

I started taking a powdered collagen supplement last fall. I've noticed hair, and nail growth, and maybe some help with my joints. I have RA, so it probably doesn't help me, as much as it would people with Osteoarthritis.

I am wondering which one to take for being 70. Facial skin is not the problem at this point. I do have some creapy skin on arms and legs and do probably need for joints. Is it recommended to take 2 different types of collagen for my issues? My chiropractor recommends taking Zymessence daily which is a body enzyme.

[@Mark031155]

I appreciate all the research you have done! Will get one of them.

[@middlesismonica]

Please do a video explaining which type of collagen (I, II, III or V) these brands you recommend use. I’m wondering if it’s helpful to mix brands in order to get get all four of these types in our supplements.

[@domingosantiago4813]

Dr anil rajani makes a powder with all the types you listed

[@maryamal-ghazali8626]

you can mix it with warm water it dissolves faster in small amounts and the rest of the water

[@nyameyen.4060]

Thanks much for the useful info, Dr. Locke. I just purchased the no flavor version of the sparkle verisol collagen [5g] directly from the manufacturer and it doesn't clump even when mixed with warm water/in my coffee... I mixed it with my spoon so likely they have changed the consistency so no need to purchase a mixer. Btw, Costco has similar verisol collagen that has received very positive reviews and much cheaper. Perhaps you could review this as well.

[@Kuanyin3]

Nice video. All companies say you can mix it in cold or hot water but we know that protein is destroyed in hot water. Putting it in coffee will destroy the protein wouldn't it? Please address this.

[@gab1888]

I tough the same thing, just not risk and avoid warm water

[@debsandz]

Thank you for this video. You explain everything so well. 2 questions came to mind though,1) Has there been any research that you know of about whether adding the powder to a hot beverage vs a cold one reduces the efficacy of the collagen? 2) The good gut ingredients you mentioned that were in the vital protein were a very desirable added plus to justify the price. I have always heard confusing info regarding temperature and so forth to keep those friendly bacteria active,since they are in powder form do you think they still are beneficial and also again,does mixing in cold beverages vs help with that? I would welcome your thoughts on this. Thanks!

[@dianasolfest7237]

Yes- important question!!
